What it is
Grok is xAI's chatbot, available on X and as a standalone app.
Where it shows up
In the browser, and in desktop apps on Mac and Windows.

Common questions

How do I see who is using Grok?
Install Northbeams across your fleet and your first sweep lands within 24 hours, with every Grok user attributed by name across browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP. No proxy, no MITM cert, no network change.
Can I block Grok?
Yes. Block it, allow it by team, or sandbox it in one click, and coach users toward a sanctioned tool at the DNS layer.
Is Grok sanctioned or high-risk?
That is your call. Northbeams sorts every tool as sanctioned, unknown, or high-risk and lets you set the policy per team. Grok sits in the unknown bucket by default until you decide.
